Roof Installation
This is where the design work you’ve done in previous chapters meets the physical roof. Roof installation covers everything from staging and safety setup through marking attachment rows, drilling into rafters, flashing penetrations, assembling rails, and torquing panels into their final position.
This chapter focuses on the most common residential scenario: flush-mount racking on a composition shingle roof with panels oriented parallel to the slope. The primary goal is a watertight, structurally sound array that matches your engineered layout exactly — before the electrical crew arrives for wiring.
Full content coming in Phase 2 Stage 6. This chapter will cover pre-work and staging, marking panel locations with roof crayon, snapping chalk lines, finding and marking rafters, drilling pilot holes, installing and sealing flashed L-feet, running and leveling rails, rail splices and end caps, bonding and grounding at the rail, and mounting panels with correct clamp torque specs.
